PRECISE ALIGNMENT SIMPLIFIED™

KneeAlign® 2 System: Key
Take-Aways
 |
Palm-sized surgical navigation system
for distal femoral and tibial resection in Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA).
|
 |
Compatible with all TKA systems.
|
 |
Precision of large console
computer-assisted surgery (CAS) with the simplicity of
conventional instrumentation.
|
 |
Single-use unit for one-time use: significantly lower in cost than large
console CAS.
|
 |
510(k) cleared by the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration as being substantially equivalent to
large console CAS systems on the market.
|
 |
Early clinical and cadaver studies
support the KneeAlign® 2 system’s ability to enable
on-target femoral and tibial implant alignment.
|
 |
Requires no capital expenditures and
entails only a small learning curve (estimated to be
about 3 cases based on clinical feedback), enabling the
hospital and its surgeons to evaluate the system with
minimal investment and time commitment.
|
 |
Potential to reduce total knee
arthroplasty surgery times by using easily identifiable
landmarks to precisely calculate the mechanical axis,
reducing the surgeon’s need to estimate the
femur and tibia’s
position in its soft tissue envelope.
|
 |
Potential to increase hospital
revenues by enabling the hospital to attract patients
and surgeons as a computer-assisted surgery technology
center. |
 |
Does not require a CT Scan, MRI or
additional x-rays. |

ABOUT ORTHALIGN

At OrthAlign, Inc. we understand the rigorous preparation and support that each surgery requires, and the demanding schedule that nurses, physician assistants, technicians and other operating room personnel face. We have designed the KneeAlign® 2 system to minimize the hassle and length of pre-operative set-up, so that health care professionals can focus on patient care and surgeon support rather than product support.
The KneeAlign® 2 system assists the surgeon in precise placement of the distal femoral and tibial and distal femoral cutting block in total knee arthroplasty. Based on clinical experience, it entails only a short learning curve, allowing the surgeon and hospital to quickly evaluate the system at minimal cost.
